MekRokieV borns at the end of 2004 in Mexico City like an acoustic solo project by PaVeL, starting with covers to The Sisters of Mercy and Sanguis et Cinis. The name MekRokieV it’s just an excuse to make music.
In February 2006 TrÄNeN join the band and it begins a new way experimenting with other sounds, creating own songs and giving sporadic concerts, with Charls (Guitar) and Chuck (Bass) like support, both guys from the electronic project V-efFekt.
In September 2006 is finished the record of their first homonymous demo and it’s released with 4 own themes, a cover to Dionysos of the austrian Sanguis et Cinis and another cover to Bela Lugosi’s Dead of Bauhaus.
Until this moment, MekRokieV has given several gigs in many places of Mexico with mexican bands like: Nietzsche’s Bitch, Acid Bats, Evilmoon Project, La Voz de tus Ausentes and others, also the big opportunity to play with Cinema Strange in September 2007.
In April 2008 is published their first album titled SaiNt StRa, made in its totality by themselves which has 10 songs, 9 unpublished and the re-recording of one song from their demo. Their lyrics comes from vivid deliriums and altered neurons leaving in the open madness, desire, narcissism and surrealism meanwhile the music reflects energy to cause surprise emotions with unexpected and constants changes devouring different styles like Death Rock, Gothic, Garage and Punk.
In this same year Charls and Chuck join the band too, with a most serious participation.
Nowadays, the band has their influence from the work of Salvador Dalà and Emilie Ciorán, the sound of Rozz Williams, Devics, Cinema Strange, The Sisters of Mercy, Chants of Maldoror, Deadchovsky and others.
